San Francisco, California - Payment processing industry leader Stripe has announced its long-anticipated foray into global USDC payments, set to be rolled out this summer. This development represents a significant move for the company, marking its return to the world of cryptocurrency after discontinuing Bitcoin support in 2018.

加利福尼亚州旧金山 - 支付处理行业领导者 Stripe 宣布，其期待已久的进军全球 USDC 支付领域，将于今年夏天推出。这一进展对该公司来说是一项重大举措，标志着该公司在 2018 年停止比特币支持后重返加密货币世界。

Stripe's President and Co-Founder, John Collison, unveiled the upcoming payments feature at a recent presentation. He demonstrated the seamless integration of crypto wallets with Stripe, enabling instant payments with USDC on both the Solana and Ethereum blockchains. Additionally, businesses utilizing Stripe's services will now have the option of accepting payments in stablecoins.

Stripe 的总裁兼联合创始人 John Collison 在最近的一次演讲中公布了即将推出的支付功能。他演示了加密钱包与 Stripe 的无缝集成，从而可以在 Solana 和以太坊区块链上使用 USDC 进行即时支付。此外，使用 Stripe 服务的企业现在可以选择接受稳定币付款。

Stripe's previous decision to discontinue Bitcoin payment options in April 2018 stemmed from concerns regarding its limited utility in the payments landscape. However, the company's recent actions indicate a renewed interest in the cryptocurrency space.

Stripe 之前于 2018 年 4 月决定停止使用比特币支付选项，原因是担心其在支付领域的效用有限。然而，该公司最近的行动表明人们对加密货币领域重新产生了兴趣。

In 2022, Stripe launched an extensive suite of tools and services tailored specifically for cryptocurrency-focused businesses, including exchanges, on-ramps, wallets, and NFT marketplaces. This move signaled a shift in Stripe's approach, expanding its offerings beyond traditional payment processing.

2022 年，Stripe 推出了专为加密货币业务量身定制的广泛工具和服务，包括交易所、入口、钱包和 NFT 市场。此举标志着 Stripe 方法的转变，将其产品扩展到传统支付处理之外。

"Stripe now supports crypto businesses: exchanges, on-ramps, wallets, and NFT [non-fungible token] marketplaces," Collison explained at the time. "Not just pay-ins but payouts, KYC [know your customer] and identity verification, fraud prevention, and lots more."

“Stripe 现在支持加密业务：交易所、入口、钱包和 NFT（不可替代代币）市场，”Collison 当时解释道。 “不仅仅是付款，还有付款、KYC（了解你的客户）和身份验证、欺诈预防等等。”

Subsequently, Stripe introduced an embeddable fiat-to-crypto onramp solution for Web3 developers and a hosted onramp service accessible via crypto.link.com. The company's unwavering commitment to innovation in the cryptocurrency domain has culminated in the upcoming launch of USDC global payments.

随后，Stripe 为 Web3 开发人员推出了可嵌入法币到加密货币的入口解决方案，以及可通过 crypto.link.com 访问的托管入口服务。该公司对加密货币领域创新的坚定承诺最终导致即将推出的 USDC 全球支付。

USDC, a stablecoin issued by Circle, maintains a 1:1 peg to the US dollar, situating it as the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization, trailing only Tether (USDT). The integration of USDC into Stripe's payment ecosystem is expected to enhance the accessibility, stability, and global reach of cryptocurrency payments.

USDC 是 Circle 发行的稳定币，与美元保持 1:1 的挂钩，使其成为市值第二大的稳定币，仅次于 Tether (USDT)。 USDC 与 Stripe 支付生态系统的整合预计将增强加密货币支付的可访问性、稳定性和全球影响力。

Stripe's decision to embrace USDC highlights the growing acceptance and adoption of stablecoins within the mainstream financial system. The company's extensive network of business customers and its reputation as a reliable payment processing provider are poised to significantly accelerate the adoption of USDC as a global currency.

Stripe 决定采用 USDC，凸显了主流金融体系对稳定币的接受度和采用度不断提高。该公司广泛的商业客户网络及其作为可靠支付处理提供商的声誉将显着加速 USDC 作为全球货币的采用。

Industry experts anticipate that Stripe's entry into the USDC payment space will solidify the role of stablecoins as a viable and convenient alternative to traditional payment methods. The move is considered a testament to the maturation and institutional adoption of cryptocurrency and is poised to further accelerate the integration of digital assets into global commerce.

行业专家预计，Stripe 进入 USDC 支付领域将巩固稳定币作为传统支付方式可行且便捷替代方案的地位。此举被认为证明了加密货币的成熟和机构采用，并有望进一步加速数字资产融入全球商业。
